Little Archie Digest Magazine #12

When Little Betty and Veronica sneak onto the roof to rescue Caramel during a nighttime adventure, their impromptu mission sets off a chain reaction—Mrs. Cooper notices they’re missing and calls the police, sparking a chaotic scene that’s equal parts silly and heartfelt. A classic slice of wholesome mischief from the Little Archie Digest era, this 5-page gem captures the kind of innocent, over-the-top fun that defined the series.

In "Boys Will Be Beautiful," Fred watches a baseball game with his son Little Archie, initially frustrated by what he sees as his son's selfishness—until a closer look through his binoculars reveals a surprising, thoughtful gesture behind the home run catch. The story captures a quiet moment of father-son connection with gentle humor and heart, all in just four pages.

In "A Gliding Tour," Little Archie proudly shares his handmade guide to Riverdale’s hidden spots—Hockomock Swamp, Carson's Creek, and more—only to learn from Ronnie that every place he loves might be ruined by tourists. With each revelation, he quietly tears out a page and sends it soaring as a paper airplane, one dream at a time.

Jo and the gang try to launch a health-club empire using Ambrose’s savings—only to boot him out when he’s no longer useful. Soon, Ambrose strikes back with a sweet revenge, opening a cake and cookie shop that quickly wins over every kid who’d rather snack than sweat.

When the boys head out to fish at Logger's Pond, Ambrose tags along—again—despite being left out. His new harmonica, meant for quiet tunes, might just be the key to saving the group when a bear suddenly appears.
